Running the Uninstaller in Silent Mode

Silent uninstallation is useful for uninstalling product components
on multiple hosts that share similar configurations. The procedure for uninstalling
in silent mode is similar to the procedure for installing in silent mode as
described in Chapter 5, Installing in Silent Mode.

To Create a State File

To perform a silent uninstallation, you must first generate a state
file by running a false uninstallation in either graphical or text-based mode.
Refer to Generating the Initial State File.

As
you respond to the prompts, the uninstaller records your answers in the specified
state file. When you complete the uninstallation, the state file is available
in the location that you specified. No software has been uninstalled.

Make a copy of the state file for each host on which you are going
to perform a silent uninstallation.

Edit each file providing information specific to the host where
you will run that silent uninstallation.
